Commentary

Won 2 of first 3 starts last year, including the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot. Ran well sent handicapping in first-time headgear when third at Sandown in July, despite not seeming ideally suited by the drop back to 5f. Never better than mid-field here last time but has since been gelded.

What the class read says

The stable looks to have run this horse in stronger races to keep its official rating low — today's class drop may be intentional. Worth watching at a price. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

Held its own mid-division in 3 of 4 stronger races — solid form context.

Dropping 2 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
